Cardiac Science Recalls AED Devices


Bothell, WA: Cardiac Science Corporation is initiating a worldwide voluntary recall after determining that approximately 12,200 automated external defibrillators (AEDs) may not be able to deliver therapy during a resuscitation attempt, which may lead to serious adverse events or death.

These AEDs were manufactured in a way that makes them potentially susceptible to failure under certain conditions.

This issue is separate from the Company's November 13 announcement regarding a voluntary medical device correction. Each of the approximately 12,200 devices affected in this recall can be confirmed at the Cardiac Science Web site at http://www.cardiacscience.com/AED1951.

Cardiac Science detected this issue through its internal quality systems and has received no complaints or reports of this problem in the field. The affected AEDs were manufactured or serviced between October 19, 2009 and January 15, 2010 and include the following models:

Powerheart 9300A, 9300E, 9300P, 9390A, 9390E
